Can I get a refund if I failed the Subject 2 test and don't want to continue?

Refunds are possible, but since you've already reached Subject 2, only partial fees can be returned. However, there are currently no unified regulations regarding refund standards, so you'll need to negotiate with the driving school. The refund standards for driver's exams are as follows: 1. Physical examination failure: If you fail the physical examination after registration, no fees will be charged. 2. Passed physical exam but didn't take Subject 1 test: For students who passed the physical exam but didn't take the Subject 1 test, a full refund will be given if no training was attended (excluding textbook fees). 3. Passed physical exam and took Subject 1 test: For students who passed the physical exam and took the Subject 1 test, they should go directly to the driving school's registration office to complete withdrawal procedures. The balance will be refunded after deducting fees for completed training hours. 4. Attended Subject 2 or 3 training: For students who attended Subject 2 or 3 training and request withdrawal, the balance will be refunded after deducting fees for completed training hours according to pricing department regulations. 5. Exam fees: For DMV exam fees, follow relevant DMV regulations and process at the local traffic police department's DMV.
When I failed the second subject of the driving test, I felt really discouraged and wondered if I could get a refund. But to be honest, driving school fees are usually based on the contract, including registration fees, training fees, and exam fees. If you quit midway, you can only get a refund for the unused portion. For example, if you fail the second subject, the training time has already been spent, and they will deduct the lesson fees, so you might only get a few hundred dollars back. I hesitated for a long time back then, but in the end, I gritted my teeth and retook the test. After passing, I realized my previous efforts weren’t in vain. I suggest you directly ask the driving school about the specific terms—don’t hold it in. Communication might lead to a solution. Persistence is key; the second subject is really no big deal. A few more practice sessions, and you’ll get the hang of it. Don’t let one failure delay getting your license—it affects your future driving safety way too much.
